"Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things; Knows not the livid loneliness of fear." Amelia Earhart~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A 93-year-old woman who was particularly despondent over the recent death of her husband, decided that she would just kill herself and join him in death. Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out his old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart since it was badly broken anyway. Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and a burden to someone, she called her doctor's office to inquire exactly where the heart would be on a woman.

The doctor said, "Your heart would be just below your left breast."

Later that night Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound to her knee.~~~~~~~~~~

A guy was invited to an old friends' home for dinner.

His buddy preceded every request to his wife by endearing terms, calling her Honey, My Love, Darling, Sweetheart, Pumpkin, etc.

The guy was impressed since he knew the couple had been married almost 70 years, and while the wife was off in the kitchen he said to his buddy, "I think it's wonderful that after all the years you've been married, you still call your wife those pet names."

His buddy hung his head. "To tell you the truth, I forgot her name about ten years ago."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

An elderly gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%.

The elderly gentleman went back in a month to the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again."

The gentleman replied, "Oh , I haven't told my family yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I've changed my will three times!"~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Three elderly men are at the doctor's office for a memory test. The doctor asks the first man, "What is three times three?"

"274," came the reply.

The doctor rolls his eyes and looks up at the ceiling, and says to the second man, "It's your turn. What is three times three?"

"Tuesday," replies the second man.

The doctor shakes his head sadly, then asks the third man, "Okay, your turn. What's three times three?"

Good morning everyone. We slept in this morning. Hubby is doing very good, we are blessed. Today we will try to take down the Christmas decorations. We were going to do it yesterday, but it rained all day. Sharon, I hope you can find some help with your appointments and house work. Big Hugs on the way. To all here and all who follow, have a Great Saturday. Danish and Biscuits with Sausage Gravy in the NC. Biscuit bottoms for L4L.

Rough night last night...brain just would not shut up last night and I could not find the off switch. I hate nights like that.

I think we will be deChristmasing the house today. I wanted to have the boys help but they are not here this weekend and I'm not sure I want to wait another week. We will have to see how my tummy does.

Perhaps that game last night got to me....naw

So cold around here. We actually have Winter! I thought it would never arrive. Yet, I am still wearing my sandals. So funny. Gotta go for the morning walk and see the sidewalk progress. They had a full crew there all day yesterday and I saw a cement truck so maybe, just maybe they poured more of the one side. They had barely started when vacations and rain interfered. I'm hoping to see the entire side finished and maybe some of the other side started. Crossing fingers.

All yard cats accounted for. The 'sick' ones are hanging in there, eating better, looking a bit more lively. It's a waiting game. Changed ALL their food to new bags and cans. Might have been something with the old stuff. I remember them turning up their noses at the canned food and wondering why. We shall see if they perk up any more. Wish it was warmer. They are all sitting in the sunny spots for now.

Good afternoon boomies! I woke at 5am when my phone decided to tell me there was tsunami warning for Canada and Alask and then again at 8 am to say it was cancelled. After that I fell back asleep till 10am. That's a late one for me. I really need to change my alerts on my phone.

I'm hiding in the corner for awhile and then will walk the dogs later. It's above freezing for a change so it should be pleasant.

Ana glad all seems to be going well in the corner and hope that this one is finished in no time at all.

No plans here yet. Must decide if I am going to go to daughters and watch the game tonight or not. Last Sunday was the only time I watched a game and it was at her place AND the Vikings won so she wants a repeat and says I have to be there to watch. Gray matter.
